Thank you, LavenderMoon, Ankita, Celia, Elly, cjh, Sterling, Smittie, Karie!
Aliona: Thank you! I’m wondering if maybe just putting my hair down (or wearing a top with short sleeves instead of a tank) would have been enough. I like the look of chunky necklaces sometimes, but I have trouble finding ones that a) aren’t too heavy and b) don’t make me itchy. What do you think, Janet? I think technically the skirt is reversible, but I haven’t tried it that way yet. You can also tie it different ways, to make it a top, or a dress, since it’s got the two layers. It didn’t get too wrinkly, either, which would be a bonus for travel.
Diana: Teal is one of my best colors, I love it. I honestly think it was the bare leg and boots that felt so experimental — almost daring, honestly — to me. But I liked it, yay! And the pattern mixing is part of the deal, with the two-layer skirt. I got the skirt from Darn Good Yarn, fwiw: http://www.darngoodyarn.com/cl.....ap-skirts/ No two are alike, so you can’t pick your fabrics (you can tell them what colors you like/dislike). But I’m liking the two I’ve gotten.
Angie: Thank you! Does that mean I’m sweet? I’ll take it.
